Chapter 28.
He could be sure that he hadn’t heard that timbre before.
However, the tone of the other party’s speech, he always felt a sense of familiarity.
This sense of familiarity was very much against the grain, making Zhou An feel very strange.
Zhou An temporarily cast this thought aside, just passing it over in his head, and continued to observe the situation in the alley.
When the black-clothed masked man said those words, the man with the double hooks revealed a contemptuous smile.
“Elder? You are indeed an Elder of the Blood Shadow Sect, if this identity of yours still existed, I would have to bow to you, but times are different nowadays, you’re nothing more than a street rat.”
“We know that your sword technique is exquisite, and that you are able to lift weights and retract them freely, but the five of us have formed a formation, which is just the right way to restrain you.”
“Still the same, hand over what you stole, so we can go back to resume our orders and also let you live.”
After saying that, the man with the double hooks made a wink.
The other four were slowly approaching.
“Hahaha!”
The black-clothed masked man let out a loud laugh, “Five trash, how can they help me?”
The man with the double hooks sneered, “Then it’s not my fault, do it!”
As the words fell, the other four attacked again.
This time, the attack was even more severe than the beginning.
The black-clothed masked man waved his long sword in his hand densely, blocking all the attacks of the four men.
But he was no longer able to counterattack.
Because the man with the double hooks also joined the battlefield.
The double hooks were so well rounded that every attack was able to go to the weakest part of the long sword.
If the other four were strong attackers, the double hooks were sinister snakes that specialized in attacking weak points.
“Snort!”
The weapons slid through the night sky, leaving several wounds on the black-clothed masked man’s body.
Behind the black-clothed masked man was the wall, and there was already no way to avoid it.
The five weapons came with a fierce wind, attacking from all sides, sealing off all retreating paths.
The men with the double hooks showed joy in their eyes.
They didn’t intend to kill the black-clothed masked man, but wanted to waste him first, then ask for the stolen items and take them back to resume their orders.
If this attack materialized, the black-clothed masked man would be instantly wasted, and then he would be able to do whatever he wanted.
But just as the blades were about to be added to his body, the black-clothed masked man made a move.
In the hands of the black-clothed masked man, the long blade was particularly ordinary.
However, as the black-clothed masked man chopped the long blade out horizontally, a stern aura filled the entire alleyway.
“Knife Chopping Unrighteousness!”
The black-clothed masked man shouted, and the long knife descended from the sky with a flinty blade light, splitting out in an instant and enveloping the entire alleyway.
“All ghosts and gods are frightened!”
The black-clothed masked man gave another low shout, and between the flips of his wrists, all the blade light began to gather.
The blade light passed through the body without a sound.
Including the man with the double hooks, all five people stood still.
A gust of wind blew by.
The dark night was as cold as water.
Dense lines of blood appeared on the five men’s bodies, as if vermillion had been applied with a brush and drawn on the five men.
Blood spilled horizontally and they fell to the ground.
In an instant, the five people who were alive and kicking just a moment ago had turned into five corpses.
Zhou An had been hiding at the side and watching, and when he saw the black-clothed masked man’s sword technique, his eyebrows jumped slightly.
“Expert!”
Now that he had reached Level 3 in Blade Technique Proficiency, he was able to tell that something was fishy.
Not only did this black-clothed masked man utilize the ability to make the blade light into a line, he even controlled the direction of the blade light.
When the first blade was swung out, the blade light scattered around.
After the second blade flipped the long blade, the blade light gathered together as if it had an attraction, causing a powerful killing force.
This kind of maneuvering could be described as being able to put it away and lift the weight with ease.
Zhou An suddenly realized something.
“This guy, seems to be that much stronger than me.”
After his proficiency reached the third level, he was also able to retract and lift weights.
But it was still very raw at the moment.
It wasn’t quite realistic to control the light of the blade like the black-clothed masked man.
But ……
There was not much of a problem.
Zhou An watched as the black-clothed masked man shook his body, his eyes glowing.
Those two slashes just now seemed to be extremely consuming.
The black-clothed masked man’s body shook, and only slowly stabilized himself with his hand on the wall.
From his heaving chest, it could be seen that he was panting violently at this moment.
Zhou An thought that he was not a bad person, but he was not a decent person either.
When he came, it was to prepare for the mantis to catch the cicada, and now it seemed that the time had come.
“Whew.”
The black-clothed masked man let out a long breath and prepared to leave after stabilizing his body.
He didn’t even want to bother with the corpse on the ground.
But just as he took two steps out, a gust of wind came.
The black-clothed masked man subconsciously looked up and saw a man in a zizi appear in the corner.
The sudden scene caused him to directly freeze.
Zhou An carried his long knife and slowly approached.
“Sorry, you can’t leave.”
The air in his body worked crazily, spreading all over his body in an instant.
The black-clothed masked man had no intention of exchanging words with Zhou An, nor did he make a move, instead, he backhanded the fence and prepared to flee.
But before he could make a move, Zhou An swung out the long knife in his hand.
The black masked man hadn’t even intended to look back, but when the long knife was swung out, a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
This sense of crisis had once saved his life in a life and death situation, so he did not hesitate and chose to believe it.
The man in black subconsciously dodged towards the side, and saw a white blade light skimming across his side, leaving deep marks on the wall behind him.
With just a gust of wind, the wall behind him collapsed.
“Blade light into a line, how could you possibly know this skill?” The black-clothed masked man said in a hoarse voice.
Zhou An raised an eyebrow, “Looks like you know me.”
Just now, the black-clothed masked man’s words were filled with a sense of surprise.
If he didn’t know him, he definitely wouldn’t have said those words.
Only by knowing him and treating him as an ordinary person, now after revealing this hand himself, could this situation be caused.
The black-clothed masked man was silent.
“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your default.” Zhou An once again raised his long sword.
At this time, the black-clothed masked man suddenly raised his left hand.
“Don’t make a move first, I’ll go to you later and will give you a satisfactory answer, how about it?”
Listening to this meaning, it seemed to be softening.
Zhou An shook his head, “I choose to beat you up first.”
After these words were said, the aura on his body had been raised to its peak.
The long knife in his hand pulled a blade flower and slashed out horizontally.
The power of the Butcher’s Blade Technique of speed plus two precision plus one was manifested to its fullest.
A knife chopped out was full strength, there was no room to withdraw.
More than thirty knife lights rose up into the air and coalesced in mid-air, like snowy silver frost.
The black masked man’s eyes widened, “So many?”
The words had only just fallen, and the knife lights had already arrived close by.
The black-clothed masked man could not avoid it and could only raise his long blade.
The same blade light surfaced in the alley.
Both sides’ blade lights collided, and the alley was covered in blade marks.
